Nice plant but the roots will cause foundation problems. Might be coconut palm.

Yes, that's a banana. They don't tolerate freezing, will die back, but usually return in the spring.

It is a banana plant - actually not a tree. They grow quickly and in about 18 months will produce a single bunch of bananas, the die back with new growth coming up around the base.

So it grew that tall in one season? Pretty fast. Someone has to do a time lapse of that.

Banana, surprised to see it in Pittsburgh, you must have had a tropical summer. The shock of November freezes will do it in pretty quick.

Yes its a banana. We had one by our back door in Austin. It got cut off at the ground every fall, and came back every spring.

It didn't grow that big. It was just planted this Spring, don't know why they would go through the trouble planting something that big just to see it die come Winter.So it grew that tall in one season? Pretty fast. Someone has to do a time lapse of that.
